economists expect a drop of 30,000 to 349,000. this week's figures disappointed wall street when they showed a rise in claims. liz: we hope you have a lovely and safe weekend. david: "money" with melissa -- melissa: a major 11th hour change to obamacare, now exemptions are being made that could affect health care and the bottom line for millions of americans. what exactly does this mean for you? because even when they say it's not, it is always about money. melissa: last-second switch on obamacare. now millions won't have to pay penalties and can buy catastrophic coverage if they're facing cancellations. if you're confused, you're not alone, we have got every angle covered for you, from what it means for you and your money to the effect on the administration

to the legal impact. stan is a former health care executive. byron york with the "washington examiner" and fox news contributor. we have seth, a constitutional lawyer. stan, i want to start with you. what does it mean for people at home if they wonder they have to sign up, what do they have to do? give me the practical aspect of it. >> i think the practical aspect of it is confusion. confusion on two fronts. number one, am i exempt or not. if i had coverage am i exempt, and if i had coverage and premium got raised am i exempt. did my insurance company change the policy. melissa: stan, you're supposed to be here to give us answers. what is the answer? >> answer is pay attention and obviously read everything you get. most of us don't really know what's in our insurance plans until we have to use them. we show up at a doctors office or the e.r. that is for the first time we find out how good our coverage is. melissa: yeah. >> nobody is going to really

know. melissa: stan, i mean my mother-in-law got a notice in the mail. her policy got canceled. what is she supposed to do now? is she exempt, is she not, how does she figure it out? >> you have obviously to pay attention to shows like yours. you have to read what the insurance companies send to you. you have to look at the paper, but all we're going to have is mass confusion. melissa: does this, i mean, you say it is mass confusion. seems like it just further delays all the instability in the marketplace and everything shaking out. is it actually making the problem worse? a lot of folks would be excited about this but, from what you're saying looks like it makes it sound like it is making it worse? >> i think, you know, we'll repeat this problem one year from now. when supposedly those exemptions run out. and we're back asking the very, very same questions. i see this as a, short term thinking, and that it is going to leave the market very confused. and companies, particularly since this is where i came from,

provider community very confused. >> yeah. stan, that wasn't terribly helpful but we're glad you were on. thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks for joining us. >> you bet. melissa: let's go to byron york from the "washington examiner." byron, not a lot of clarity as you just heard for individuals and what they have to do and don't have to do as a result of what we heard today. what is your understanding? >> well this is the result of the white house being much more concerned than they are letting on. this has to do, they have basically poke ad hole in the individual mandate. they have always said that is the key. that is the heart of obama care. the whole thing doesn't work without an individual mandate. here they made a rather large exception. that is for a couple of reasons. by far the most unpopular thing about obamacare, if you look at the new "new york times" poll. they asked people about the individual mandate 68% did not approve of it. when they asked people who are

uninsured, the ones who are supposed to benefit the most, 77% to like the individual mandate. the other thing white house is worried about, democratic defections. obama needs democrats to stay on its side. this hh announced was after six democratic senator, warner, kaine, king, shaheen, and hide camp expressed doubts about this. they had many constituents upset about having their policies canceled. this has huge political possibilities and. melissa: lindsey graham said this is the end of the individual mandate. that is something you touched upon. do you agree with that? >> certainly there is going to be problems with it. if you look at democrats and liberal wonks, who the strongest supporters of obamacare, what they're terrified about is, if you made one exception to the individual mandate, you can make more.

and they're worried about there being continuing exceptions made to the this individual mandate. each one of them, weakening obamacare, messing with the price structure of insurance policies, making things much more expensive for the people who are insured. remember, back in the shutdown fight republicans after they lost the whole defund move for obamacare, they asked for a one-year delay of the individual mandate and democrats said, absolutely no. this can not be done. well now, they're worried that the administration is worried they might be delaying it in parts kind of like republicans said. melissa: the whole point, you need those individual in order to pay for the really expensive, high-risk people that have already entered the pool. >> right. melissa: in the meantime while these individuals are opting out, who is paying for the people that use a ton of service that is are really expensive that already went in and signed up and are thrilled? >> well there are two things to think about. one, a lot of people will be paying higher premiums. they will have much higher

deductibles. they will have narrower doctor networks. they pay for it that way. there is something else to think about. there is this thing called risk corridors which is a feature of obamacare that basically allows the federal government using taxpayer dollars to subsidize the insurance companies for losses they suffer as a result of the effects of obamacare. the first few years. melissa: yeah. >> so you could look at -- melissa: we're paying for it, yeah, the taxpayer is paying for it because there will be a bailout. taxpayers bailing out insurance companies as they incur these huge losses from very sick people that signed up and all healthy people who have not. we'll pay for that. byron, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> for the legal implications i want to bring in seth, a constitutional law attorney. you know, i wonder and i heard a lot of people talking about this today, the legality of this move because it feels like time and again the president is taking the part of the law he likes and throwing away things that he doesn't like and i wasn't sure that, i didn't think he was

allowed to do that. i mean a law is a law, right? >> well this is turning into a bizarre civics lesson how not to create a law. there's a basic constitutional architecture within which a law is supposed to be created and there was a reference a moment ago to the handful of democratic senator that is wrote the letter to secretary sebelius. now we're in a situation where the law is different depending upon what happens with bureaucrats in washington and we watch the news after we wake up in the morning. that is not the way laws are supposed to be structured. what is happening here today, doesn't work as a matter of law because it is unconstitutional. it doesn't follow the appropriate framework. it create as constitutional problem. you have a whole room of people who have just been given a pass. they can leave obamacare. they can go out on the street, albeit with some limitations. they can get their own policy that creates a equal protections of law at the moment. there are already huge legal challenges. this opens up another legal nightmare. melissa: will we see lawsuits as a result? will we see court challenges?

what do you think we'll see? >> you will see court challenges as a result of this based upon the constitutional implications that you've got major problems with regard to equal protection but this is going to feed into case that is are already going on right now. there are major cases in federal court, for example, in washington, d.c. here in washington as well as in virginia and richmond. they are federal cases also chipping away at the individual mandate. there have already been retractions of the employer mandate. now within literally the next four to six weeks there will be major decisions from federal courts and washington and virginia could drop out individual mandates requirements in 2/3 of the exchanges in the united states. this is a big story today. more to come. melissa: seth, thank you so much. >> you bet. melissa: online retailer overstock.com is going to start accepting payment in bitcoin, did you know that? could be the first step for the digital currency to become the future of online shopping. overstock's ceo is here. imagine this, it is christmas day.

melissa: bitcoin has undoubtedly been one of the biggest financial stories of 2013 and now the little currency that could has a big-time shopping partner in its corner. overstock.com plans to become the first major online retail another u.s. to accept bitcoin as payment. it could happen in just a few months. they are way ahead of the curve. is it genius, risky or both? patrick byrne is overstock.com's ceo and chairman. thanks so much for joining us. what is behind, what is behind this decision? >> well, there are two reasons. one is business and one is philosophical. the business reason i thiik there will be a market people want anonymous currency. people are, so i think there is going to be a market. if we're the first major retailer to be selling through bitcoin or selling with bitcoin

we should be snapping up the market. on the philosophical side, as you folks know i'm a pro-freedom guy and i believe in limited government. sound money is one things you need to limit government. government is always trying to go to expand goes for fiat currency. i'm austrian school guy, austrian economics, we ultimately like gold. for 5,000 years it is growing 2% a year and government mandarins can't create new gold. it is mathally limited rather than physically limited. limited to 21 million units. as the u.s. continues to debase our currency, this will be a more and more viable alternative. melissa: there was a lot in there i have to ask you about. let me start with the practicality of your website accepting bitcoin. how are you going to do it? will you trade it out because it is so volatile, the practicality of it? do you accept payment in bitcoin and convert it right away to

dollars or how will you manage it? >> great question. there are two approaches. if by the time we're accepting this which we expect in a few months there may be a derivatives market which hedges one's risk from bitcoin back to dollars just like one can do with any other currency, euro or yen to dollars. if that is not available by the time we go live wit, we'll rolling out bitcoin every night, converting into dollars. so there is no fluctuation risk. i don't want to accept any currency risks with bitcoin. melissa: no, but you could make money on the side trading it as you're taking it as a currency. have you hired someone in particular to manage, your bitcoin portfolio as you take payments in it and try to make the most of that? >> we could but we won't. that's not our business. i don't want to be making any directional bets on bitcoin and try to make any money on that. it has either got to be converted into dollars or some way of hedging out the

fluctuation risk. melissa: okay. you are an outspoken critic of the fed. we can hear that in there, that you don't like the way they're managing our money right now. what offends you the most? >> well, sures, the most important, we laugh at the soviet union for trying to run a society with 23 million prices being set by government mandarins but in our case the most important price our civilization prices the price we discount the future against the present which are interest rates. in our case that prices being set by central planners at a central bank called the federal reserve. it has been around 100 years and we're getting central planning like results and i hope some day we wake up like soviets do get rid of central planning of this key price and let it be market-oriented. melissa: do you think, if you jump this and do it ahead of amazon and other competitors, do you think this gives you an edge? >> yes. there is some fraction of the

market, albeit tiny now, that prefers to use bitcoin and we'll pretty much have, we'll be the, one-stop shop for them. melissa: you have said thaw think money is too important to leave in the hands of government officials. >> right. melissa: i don't know, do we have that much choice? bitcoin is gaining a lot of traction but it is still a teeny, tiny fraction and there aren't a lot of people that think we could go in a big way over to bitcoin. >> well, it is a chicken and a egg problem. people will not go over because there are not many places you can spend it, many reputable places. as more reputable places take it there is more incentive for people to go over to. >> it interesting. patrick, thanks for coming on. will you get back when you get ready to launch this so we can see how the logistics are working out. >> absolutely, melissa. melissa: merry christmas to you. >> you too.

melissa: last week ben bernanke led his last fed meeting. his announcement barely caused the market to blink and tom sullivan has reasons why. >> if you want to call it stock market, flynn muched a little bit and went on to a gain of almost 300 points. really? a taper? all they did was a rounding error, cutting their monthly funny money purchases of mortgages from 85 billion down to a paltry 75 billion a month. come on, who is kidding whom? since it was ben bernanke's last meeting he wanted to say for the history books he was the one to cut artificial support of the economy. it has been five years since they brought interest rates down to zero and do you think it boosted economy? exactly. it hasn't done a thing other than devalue our dollar. also this week gallup said a record high response, 72% of us, think big government is the problem. so this shows, we get it. the pinheads in washington think they're fooling us but we're not

as stupid as they think. they are trying to pretend they are cutting the artificial boost of our economy but people hopefully can see right through them. melissa: be sure to catch "the tom sullivan show" on fox news talk, siriusxm, misdemeanor of your local radio stations every weekday at 3:00 p.m. when it comes to gifting is it better to give than to receive? would it bother you to get a gift that you knew, you knew it was regifted? maybe they left the last card on. tweet me, tell me what you think. a&e is walking a fine line as they deal with the "duck dynasty" controversy. how do they silence the critics without losing their viewers and major sponsors? is there a way to spin the negative publicity into more money? stick around, "piles of money" straight ahead.

today's "money talker" with, dr. jeff gardere and jonna spilbor. what do you think, guys? is anyone going to admit to regifting here? what? >> yes. melissa: what did you regift? >> i already regift ad company that i worked for sent me something is charger for an iphone but for an iphone 4. so i can't use it for my iphone 5. i'm giving it to my son. i will regift all my earlier versions of iphones to my kids and guess what? they're happy to have them. melissa: but did you say i got this from someone else? i think the sin in regifting is when you pretent like you bought it. >> you are regifting those gifts? >> absolutely. >> you can not admit to the regifting. >> i'm telling it the way it is. >> as long as it is new. if anybody gives me bottle of merlot. i will gift it to someone else, it is not my brand but someone will enjoy it.

>> waste not, want not. i won't admit to regifting. melissa: you can admit it. it the reason we're doing this segment, "fox news poll", 73% of people think it is okay to regift. 15% say always. 58% say sometimes. what makes that sometimes? what makes it okay sometimes? >> it is okay when you're not regifting within the circle of people who have given you the gift, right? you can't have an elaine situation where you regift to the person who gave you the gift or someone knows the person who gave you the gift. >> that's true. >> obviously free. got it for free and says this came for free, you can't regift that. >> i really believe -- melissa: it could be embarrassing. >> but i believe it's the thought that counts. the fact that -- >> regift is thoughtless. no, it is thoughtless. >> not at all. melissa: you don't want it, here take this. >> no not at all. not at all. let me tell you -- >> waste not, want not. >> i will admit this to the world. i have over 300 ties.

i get, maybe not today i will get a compliment on my tie. >> i love it. >> but i get, i get compliments on my ties. you're melting me, stop. i'm getting compliments on my ties all the time. so i'm giving out some of my favorite ties. melissa: your old ties? this is a new low. you're giving out used ties? >> wear them first. they will be worth even more. melissa: our viewers tweeted in, one, larry said avoid anything monogrammed. you should check the ties. maybe sure none have your name on them. otherwise it will be clear, you're not only regifting but regifting a used gift. >> find someone with the same initials. melissa: there you go. looks like you really thought ahead. >> it might be worth more if he has a monogramming on it. melissa: john says okay to regift as long as nobody knows about it. that is whole lying thing. i think what makes regifting a a little cheap and yucky, you didn't go shop and spend money

but acting like you did. a regift is a lie. >> what is worst, regifting or taking a gift that you received and putting it in the back of your closet forever until next year when you throw it away? >> cost of insincerity. christmas holidays, hanukkah, gifting, all about that sincere idea that you picked out something specifically for that person. so when you regift without admitting that you're regifting you're sort of admitting to insincerity as well. melissa: yes, i think that is true. ivan the k, i don't know what that means, but he tweets all the time. he thinks cash works well regifting. no one says no to cash. >> wouldn't say no. melissa: no one ever says no to cash. >> what about preowned cars? that's a regifting? >> maserati? hand it over. melissa: i think yyu can regift when you have something that you got and you, maybe got too many cookies or too many candies at

work. someone gave this to me, i'm not going to eat it. would you like it. that is not regift. >> or really beautiful gift. i really can't use this but i thought it would be perfect for you. >> right. that is nice and honest. melissa: everyone you give a tie to this yearrwill know that it came straight out of your closet. >> but they heard it on your show. >> that is why i'm not admitting i'm regifting. oh, i just did. melissa: thanks, guys. is the duck dynasties about to crumble? a&e hit has become big business with millions of branded merchandise. are they about to lose it all? the dollars and cents behind this controversy.

we can't imaginn moving forward without phil. well, you guys may not have a choice. >> the other thing -- melissa: you think they're legally bound. >> there really are. there would have to be millions back-to-back acting -- to get out. >> he will be in season six. what they say is, we have met with him. he has agreed that he is not going to -- you will watch what he says publicly, we are not going to a bridle on every is on and never talk about this stuff. they are themselves. they are the hillbillies, white dress, what you want to call them bury their popular. the show will go on. you will go on. in the will make even more money from this program. melissa: they are on the air in part because they say stupid things. this huge controversy over the fact that one guy said stupid things. it is kind of a big dustup over how much -- you have to ask. melissa: and did they come out of this, everyone, way ahead? i think a in the ends up with more of yours?

>> said the day in the book more viewers. but the key thing to watch here is viral videos show up where he has made previous speeches that were taped on my phones are whenever. you will have said potentially anti-gay things are other entire race things. that could in upgrading a whole new round of controversy, but overall with the reality show, this kind of controversy is good. this did not use any episodes of slurs. >> she should have left the bestiality reference. melissa: let's not talk about what he said, and wanted their way from the "money" of this. what do they have to do for the rehab part of this? am interested. what does it have to look like when they all get back together for a needed seem like they have been sincere in their suspension? i feel like that what they have done so far as a little bit ridiculous. they have not spent any of their own money. you are based on your not even playing.

>> that is the criticism, but they cannot immediately. we will not abide by these kind of commons. he is suspended. he is in the can obviously, now they meet with them. his family said his remarks were course. he should not have said that. on the show did not talk about this stuff. what they do is get together predicament of the meeting. they say, we believe that he will watch himself publicly. he says, want to thank them for standing by us. melissa: i don't know if you will watch and so publicly. >> but he will be read the makes a lot of money, they make a lot of money. the other thing is, it is five seasons. this show is getting a little bit long a beard. so they needed something. this was the perfect use. melissa: we have to go. thanks. it is mired have been here on "money." teens from all around the world competing with the most advanced humanoid robots to the crown champion of the 2014 defense department robotics challenged. the robots would help humans in responding to national and man
